How do you attract an agent? Ever thought of funding your next book through crowdfunding? How do you deal with failure? Do you understand your royalty statements? What's a media kit, and should you have one? This, and many more questions, are answered in this second collection of articles that first appeared in Writing Magazine.

With advice from more than 50 professional writers, some of whom have been on the UK bestseller lists or the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, The Business of Writing is a collection of 25 articles, first published in Writing Magazine, looking at the practical business of writing: tax, productivity, pseudonyms, coping with rejection, press trip behaviour, selling rights and more.

The Complete Article Writer shows you how to get from a potential article idea to a finished, publishable article, written for a specific readership.
It looks at: article ideas: generating ideas and maximising their potential; magazine analysis: identifying your potential readers; article structure; creativity: adding interest and sparkle to your article; and pitching: how to sell your idea first.

This is the follow-up to the bestselling 100 Ways For A Dog To Train Its Human, offering advice to dogs of all shapes and sizes about how to survive in the great outdoors with their humans. Warning: Do not let your human read this!
